Arbor Day (film)

Arbor Day is a 1936 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Fred C. Newmeyer.

Alfalfa tries to talk him out of his fears, but truant officer Smithers happens along to personally usher both children to school himself.

Meanwhile, a husband and wife midget pair (George and Olive Brasno) walk out on their circus sideshow jobs.

At school, the kids trudge through their Arbor Day recitals and songs (Alfalfa contributes a squeaky rendition of Joyce Kilmer's "Trees" set to music by Oscar Rasbach.)

When the midgets-in-disguise offer to join in the show, they contribute a shimmy routine which shocks the entire audience of faculty and parents.
